Abstract:
The Japanese Catheter Ablation (J-AB) registry, started in August 2017, is a voluntary, nationwide, multicenter, prospective, observational registry, performed by the Japanese Heart Rhythm Society (JHRS) in collaboration with the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center using a Research Electronic Data Capture system. The purpose of this registry is to collect the details of target arrhythmias, the ablation procedures, including the type of target arrhythmias, outcomes, and acute complications in real-world settings. During the year 2020, we have collected a total of 84 591 procedures (mean age of 65.8 years and 66.6% male) from 466 participant hospitals. Detailed data were shown in Figures and Tables.
